Frequent readers may recall our coverage a few weeks ago of the upcoming luxury match-three game, Diamond Dreams. Developed by GFAL (Games for a Living), this intriguing twist on the classic format is now transitioning from beta to a soft launch, set to debut this weekend in Malaysia.
So, what exactly is a luxury match-three game? At its core, it's the genre you know and love, but with a much more extravagant flair. The gems you match are rendered in stunning, high-resolution detail, and by completing levels, you earn diamonds that can be used to craft virtual jewelry. These pieces are designed by the same artist responsible for the jewels in the opening sequence of the acclaimed series, The Crown.
As noted by our editor, Dann Sullivan, in his preview of GFAL's match-three puzzler, Diamond Dreams' most compelling feature is its ability to set itself apart from other games in the genre. This distinction comes from its lush visuals, unique font, and a minimalist menu style that together create a refined and elegant gaming experience.
Trading placesDiamond Dreams also incorporates Web3 technology, enabling players to trade their crafted jewelry with others. While this feature adds an innovative layer, it's the game's challenging difficulty and luxurious aesthetic that are more likely to captivate a broader audience.
If you're in Malaysia and eager to dive into Diamond Dreams, keep an eye out for its soft launch this weekend, subject to app review. Note that the beta version of the app will cease to function as of today.
